Piece ceiling Joists directly over plrtea. Noil 

 them securely to the rafters and nail them to the plate. 

 If the building will be subject to snow load for ceiling 

 joists, give particular care to the selection of good 

 straight grain sticks free from knots larger then 1 inch 

 in dinmeter end other imperfections, that would weaken the 

 stick. Use 5 - 20d. wire nails for nailing the ceiling 

 joist to the rafters and &v.- 20d. wire nails to toe nail 

 them to the plate. 



SIDING. 



The plan illustrates the method to follow in 

 placing siding. Note the break at the line of the lowest 

 window sill* At that position place a 1" x 4" water table 

 around the building (see Plan). From the water table to 

 the ground, place 1" x IE" boards vertically with battens 

 over cracks. Nail the board securely to the girts (see 

 instructions under sills, joists, etc.) with 3 - lOd. nails 

 at each nailing place. Fasten the battens with 6d. or 8d* 

 nails set opposite one another 6&'*12" centers. Clinch 

 the nails on the inside. The amount of material required 

 for this base siding will depend upon height of underpinning, 

 which in turn depends upon slope of site. The material as 

 listed contains sufficient siding to cover base of the 

 height measurement shown in the plan. If more or less is 

 needed for a given building, the builder should moke allow- 

 ances accordingly. 



As available and as circumstances might dictate, 

 for siding above the water table, the builder may choose 

 any style of siding included in the list. following. 



(a) Rough lumber 1" x 8 n laid horizontally with a 

 lap of 2 inches. Boards must oe free from loose knots, 

 all knots tight or loose having a diameter greater then 

 li- inches, weather cracks, rot disfigurements, or large 

 pitch pockets. Set the first board at the bottom on a 

 1" x 2 W strip which should be nailed to studs. Exercise 

 care in spacing the siding in order that the lap will be 

 equal on each board. Nail siding with lOd. nails at top 

 and bottom on to each stud.
